Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Then you'll have to prepare for the crash. Depending on how long you need to be awake it could work...
Just keep upping the caffeine. They sell caffeine power which can be added to essentially anything. If you pace it correctly, you could be up for the entire week before you finally go comatose on the weekend
That's not necessarily going to help. I fell asleep on 2 NoDoz back in the day trying to keep myself awake to study. But I also have ADHD, so caffeine doesn't affect me normally at a certain point.
... you are aware that over 400mg of caffeine is considered over the safe limit, right? It'll be several grams before you die, but ending up in the hospital may not be worth whatever you need to accomplish.
Wait legit? I was joking but to be serious if that's true I'm pretty sure I'm legitamitly constantly going above that limit.
That's only 4 standard coffees. Each at an average of 100mg. I do two in the morning, one at lunch, at least three mugs of black tea a day and some green tea too.
That's on a normal day man. Thanks for the warning maybe I should try cutting back.
Caffeine also has a half-life of around 8 hours so you may be accumulating.
I took some strong cold brew tea in a few weeks, it kept me wide awake but ended up giving me heart palpitations.
Now I use caffeineinformer to calculate safe limits, and stop drinking at around 17 to give the caffeine some time to get out of my system.
Yeah I explained it to another person here when they showed a whole shelf of monsters lol, but it's pretty well summed up here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine
The limit is different depending on which health agency you're estimating with, but the most conservative estimate I found was 320mg, with the most lenient being about 500mg.
Depending on your body weight, it'll take a few grams to kill you, most likely around 10, and thats per day, so if you have 4 cups of coffee you might just need to knock it down to 3 or use it as needed rather than daily.
Yep. Either that, or you're just exhausted but also caffeinated so can't sleep, and then you can't focus all day, and end up being unproductive.
Hopefully it's for a flight or something, and you're a good airplane sleeper.
